I find myself using ChatGPT in much the same way you do—it's become that reliable companion that fits perfectly into my daily rhythm. From distilling work documents to offering thoughtful advice on career moves or creating protein-packed meals from whatever's hanging out in my fridge. While some folks are quick to claim these tools are making us too relaxed (in the not-great way), my experience mirrors yours completely. The beauty is in how personalized everything becomes—when I need something straightforward, it delivers just that; when I'm curious to explore deeper, it adapts effortlessly. And just like breaking in a new pair of jeans, I always circle back to real people to confirm what I've learned. It's this perfect blend of convenience and authenticity that makes it such an essential part of my toolkit.
These are great examples, and I was wondering if you were going to mention Pi. I have used that app for various concerns and questions and really like the responses and conversations.
One thought for you...are you replacing the car questions to your dad with other conversation? Being a dad, I would imagine he enjoyed getting those calls as a way to connect with his daughter.
Love the real life stuff and you being so candid about it. I use chatGPT and Claude like you do - a lot to help me use other software (where is this command on excel, how do I switch tabs on safari …) stuff that I can live without knowing (but wasting time) and I dont have the patience to look for info on google or YT. Uploading manuals of the music gear I use and I always forget how to do this or that works wonders too (Claude project for me). Tracking my mother's blood works (she has cancer) and showing her nice graphics about how she's getting better; and then having a conversation in voice mode about any cultural topic that pops in my mind (today was about the golden ratio) … and then you can go in a wonderful rabbit hole where no human would go with you. I can't wait to have it know everything about me actually. will be even better!
